SECTION 1
The HART
INTRODUCTION
The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) Communicator
(Figure 1-1) is a hand-held interfacethat provides a common communication
link to all HART-compatible, microprocessor-based instruments.
Section 1 disc usses the HART Com municat o r Connections, Liquid Crystal
Display, Key pad, Offline and Online menu, Battery Pack, Memory Module,
data pack 100, Maintenance, and Year 2000 Compatibility.It also includes
short overviews on some of the Communicator’s functionality.
Section 2 desc ribes tasks that are common to Fisher- Rosemount’s HART
devices and includes some of the common screen dis plays.
Section 3 displays typical examples of menu trees specific to FisherRosemount products.
YourHART Communicator interfaces with any HART-compatible device from
any wiring termination point using a 4–20 mA loop, provided a minimum load
resistance of 250ohms is present between the Communicator and the power
supply.Your HART Communicator u ses the Bell 2 02 frequency shift key
(FSK) technique of high-frequency digital signals superimposed on a
standard transmitter current loop of 4–20 mA. Because the total highfrequency signal voltage added to the loop amounts to zero, communication
to and from a HART-compatible device does not disturb the 4–20 mA signal.

protocol allows you to communicate with multiple HART devices on a single
twisted pair of wires over leased telephone lines.
When several devices are connected in the same loop (multidropped), each
device must be assigned a unique address. To find the individual device
addresses, use the Digital Poll option to find each connect ed device in the
loop and list them by tag number.
Communication between the Communicator and multidropped transmittersis
digital, with the analog output fixed. In a multidrop installation, each
transmitter is identified by a unique polling address of 0 or 1–15 and
responds to the commands defined in the HART protocol.
Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the desired polling option:
ENTER
Press(F4) to ent er the highlighted option and return to the Configure
Communicator menu. Or, press(F3) to return to the Configure

THE HART COMMUNICATOR AND THE YEAR 2000
The HART Communicator is Year 2000 Compliant if the operating system is
level 4.6 or greater. To determine the operating system level in your HART
Communicator, turn it on. The first screen displays the “Module Rev”, which
is the operating system level. If you need to update your operating system
software, contact your nearest product representative.
NOTE: When you power up the Communicator, the Firmware Rev number
appears first. A few seconds later, the Module Rev number displays one line
below the Firmware Rev.
Editing the Date
When you edit a date, you have three fields to edit: the firstfield is the month,
the second field is the day, and the third field is the year.
If you enter the year using two digits, the HART Communicator will assume
that the year is 1900 plus the value you enter.
If you enter four digits, the HART Communicator will use all four digits to
represent the year. By definition in the HART PROTOCOL, t he year must be
between 1900 and 2155.
When a date is displayed, the HART Communicator will display two digits in
the year if the year is between 1900 and 1999. If the year is 2000 or greater,
the HART Communicator will display all four digits.
